In the world of luxury product acquisition, there are few things more distressing to the mind of a passionate collector than the thought of harm coming to their valued possessions. Yes, nothing in this realm can hold a candle to health or the well-being of one’s loved ones, but these small treasures, often rare or unique (and certainly expensive) hold a special place in the heart of one who has dedicated their time and effort to make them theirs.I am often asked if it is important to insure a collection of used luxury watches. In fact, I am asked it more often then makes conscionable sense to me, because the answer is simple: Yes, yes you should. And more to the point, if you own a luxury watch like a Rolex Submariner (let alone if you own numerous luxury watches) and you’re asking that question, you should save your breath for the insurance provider on the other end of the phone.And that’s really the best place to start. In this digital age, it seems we’ve all become a bit interaction-shy, but with a complex and potentially serious situation like making an insurance claim, it is always best to have set-up your policy having talked directly to another human being – an expert in their field. You really should leave nothing to chance. Don’t be afraid to ask stupid questions – insurance is complicated and rules and regulations vary from country to country (massively) and occasionally, even from region to region. If you move to a new area, don’t just assume that your previous policy will port seamlessly. Check it out. Trust me: It’s worth it.Having lived most of my life in the UK and Germany, I have intimate personal experience with moving a watch collection across borders. And the differences are stark. Some things are easier in some territories, and some things are harder, but the three things you should focus on first when looking into insuring your collection (or single watch) is the total value of your collection, how many “declarable” models you will need to put on your policy, and how all of this can affect your remaining contents insurance.So let’s start with the first point. This is relatively simple. Add up the retail value of the watches in your collection. When doing this, make sure you collate invoices and receipts (if possible) into a physical and digital folder. Scan everything, stick it in a PDF and email a copy to yourself rather than keeping it on your hard-drive alone (it stands to reason that if your property gets turned over your laptop may go the same way as your watches).
The men’s Rolex Submariner was developed in 1953 and made its official debut during Basel Watch Fair the following year. One of the first dive watches to offer a 100-meter depth rating, the Submariner essentially paved the way for the modern dive watch as we know it today. Over the years, the Submariner has seen many notable upgrades, including the addition of a date display in the 1960s, the switch from acrylic to sapphire crystals in the late 1970s, and the change from radioactive tritium to photoluminescent lume in the 1990s. The Submariner was initially only available in stainless steel; a two-tone variant didn’t become available until 1984 via the ref. 16803.That brings us to the two examples that are featured here in today’s comparison video. The Rolex 16613 made its debut in 1988 and was the final aluminum bezel Submariner. The ref. 116613 was introduced in 2009 and features a completely redesigned feature set that swapped the aluminum bezel out for a tougher Cerachrom ceramic insert and features an all-new case and bracelet design. While both references are similar, they each bring a different aesthetic to the table.The Rolex Submariner 16613 was produced for over twenty years. During that time, it became available in many variations, including either a black or blue dial and bezel set, stunning champagne or silver “Serti” dials adorned with gems, lug holes on the case or no holes, and different luminous material on the dial. Two features that remain consistent among the reference variations are the two-tone steel and gold finish of the case and the aluminum insert on the bezel.With the unveiling of the modern 116613 Submariner in Yellow Rolesor (aka two-tone stainless steel and 18k yellow gold) came a newer-style “Super Case” which, despite offering the same 40mm diameter as the ref. 16613, appears slightly larger. The lugs and crown guard are wider, and the bezel received a new mounting design, giving the case a slightly more robust appearance and refined bezel action.
On top is the sapphire crystal to cover the elegant dial.The bracelet is made of the same material as its case, and on the folding buckle, there are the Rolex logo and other information of the model, just as the same as per original. This replica Rolex Yacht-Master watch is driven by a Asian 2813 automatic movement, supporting its functions well. Even though this watch is designed for professional yacht player firstly, but it became a classic and hot model Rolex. More and more people choose it as a timepiece or decoration on the wrist for sport or business occasion. You know, everything happens in fashion.This replica Rolex Submariner has two edition, a normal edition and a latest V6S edition. Here is the difference between these two: there is a laser Anti-counterfeiting Rolex logo on the front case at 6:00 position, this is exactly as original edition. This logo has to use magnifier or put it at a 45 degree under the light to see it. But, the ordinary edition has the painted crown logo that can be seem directly. There comes very the original Rolex package, very fancy and high-class.Replica Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN Black Ceramic Bezel When the factory told me that this watch is the best replica Rolex GMT-Master II watch so far in the market, I was wondering how it would be. I hold this new arrival in my hand and look into it carefully, then I agree with what I was told. No matter the look or the material, it is exactly the same as the original. I think you would like me to show you more details as below.It seems that Rolex designed the GMT-Master II for specific group, but more and more people who travel a lot or love traveling would prefer to wear this watch. The reason is the elegant look and its useful functions. The 40mm case is made of 314L stainless steel and looks good not only during travelling all over the world but also good for any business occasions. On the black dial, there are dots and stick markers, and except for the hour, minute and second function, there is also date display and GMT. The date indicator is at 3:00, and we can see it adopts Rolex’s traditional water-drop design to enlarge it. On the black bezel we can see there are numbers and markers, this is the most outstanding specification of this GMT-Master II watch, from hands on the dial we can tell the local time, and from the bezel and the 24-hour hand we can tell the time zone when you travel. And this is can be adjusted by the crown, so the traveler can always know the time of the departure and arrival places at the same time. The bezel is made of ceramic material, matching the sapphire cover perfectly. The strap is very Rolex style type, matching a folding clasp.The reason they said this is the best edition of replica Rolex GMT-Master II is that it is driven by a 1:1 super clone 3186 automatic movement, which can support it to work as well as the original. And, this watch looks younger than other gold and stainless steel models, looking good on the young as well.Specification: Movement: Clone 3186 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, 316L stainless steel Bezel: Real Black Ceramic Crystal: Sapphire, Anti-scratchDial: Black Bracelet: Solid 316L Stainless Steel Water Resistant: 100m .Replica Rolex Day Date II Two Tone 18K Gold Watch ReviewI am going to show you a replica Rolex Day Date II watch that is a very classic model from this classic watch brand. As one of the brand’s iconic models, Day Date II is always made of steel and gold, which becomes a perfect match as a case of this brand. The replica edition of this Rolex watch I want to present to is the best one I have met, as it is made of real 18K gold instead of gold-plating in most of the replica versions.Looking on the elegant white dial, we can see there are three golden needles and Roman numeral markers. I always like Roman numeral markers are much more than other styles, what do you think? At 12 o’clock position is the week window, and below the window there is Rolex’s logo which is attractive as always.
Coca Cola bezel is red and black bezel used on GMT 16700, 16760, 16710. You will have a clear definition of the two types of bezels as long as you think the color of the two canned soft drinks.About the watch here I am going to review, it is a superior replica, which is made by Noob factory. It is imitated according to genuine because Noob bought a genuine 116719 GMT and researched it, the factory used the same material as genuine, the functions of the replica are 100% the same as original, it is a perfect replica. The movement inside the replica is Asian Clone 3186, actually it could be also equipped with Asian ETA 2836 or real ETA 2836 movement. Absolutely the best one is with genuine ETA 2836.Whole replica watch is made of 316L stainless steel, except ceramic material on Pepsi bezel, it is real ceramic, blue and red color are natural, bezel engravings have a certain depth. The red part bezel just matches with the red GMT hand on the dial. Brushed finishing on case and bracelet, well processed case and bracelet edges so that they are smooth and will not scratch your hand, I wore this watch several days, it is really very comfortable.The dial is highly readable because white silver hour markers and hands are on black background. Those markers and hands are applied white lumimous material, they will emit strong light in the dark.In a word, the first feeling when you get this replica Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi watch on hand is it is very heavy and gives you a genuine feeling.Replica Rolex Paul Newman Daytona Watch 6239 Review The Hollywood super star Paul Newman passed away in 2008, this was an end of this legendary actor.

These gentlemen needs a combination of sport, casual and passionate watch to express their life attitude and style. For a Rolex watch, I think Paul Newman Daytona is a nice choice, and I like the classic stainless steel band better than others. Also, this is one of the most popular model in replica watch market. Of course, quality will be different from different factories. The most important thing is to check the material and movement it is equipped with. I did have share so much knowledge about replica watches, I think that is enough for you to tell them. This replica Paul Newman Daytona watch is a not bad choice, because the factory has been manufacturing this model for long time and they have learned it well. High-end Replica Rolex Yacht-Master 116622 Grey Watch from J12 Factory It seems Rolex is another name of watch, and it has a great reputation and popularity in watch market. But, I think Rolex watch is a good option for man in a age range of above 30. This replica Rolex Yacht-Master 116622 with a 40mm grey dial is a wonderful choice for those man who has a career. Or, for those who want to be professional at business occasions, Rolex Yacht-Master would be a right option. Actually, when we are talking about Rolex watch would remind me of George Clooney, he is a such a perfect guy as spokesman of Rolex watch. On this point, I think I am not alone.
This factory does a good job in case polishing, which uses two different processing ways, the case lugs are polished and the part connecting bracelet is brushed. Polished lugs are smooth and have a certain arc degree, so the case fits you hand perfectly. Fluted bezel has the same amount of grooves as genuine, the 18k yellow gold coated on bezel is thick, never fade, so it is on the bracelet.Replica Rolex 41mm Black Dial The dial looks big, white letterings on black dial background. The date window at 3 o’clock shows black date on white background. The most precious part on the replica lies in its diamond hour markers, box-shaped markers with one diamond set in the center, whose brilliance exactly echoes with the yellow gold tone. I love simple dial style and it looks so generous.Replica Rolex Datejust Crown The most important watch part is the movement. This replica Rolex Datejust is equipped with a Swiss ETA 2836 automatic movement, which is the best movement used by replica watches. However, because the replica uses 18k gold, diamonds and Swiss ETA 2836 movement, it is sold at a high price. If you like this replica watch, please contact me, I will send one original Rolex box as a free gift, only available for top five buyers.dReplica Rolex Daytona 116500 Ceramic Watch 904L Case with Super Clone 4130 Movement Rolex Daytona 116500 Ceramic ReplicaIn recent days, there is a new factory that uses the latest watch material and super clone movement to make replica Rolex watches in our market, its name is AR. This factory produced a lot of amazing replica Rolex within these months, such as V8 116610 Submariner, 116610LV, etc. This time I will introduce another great replica watch they made, it is a Daytona watch, reference number is 116500. This Daytona watch is very popular and is in high demand in the watch market, a lot of my blog readers asked me to do a review about this Daytona watch, now I have a chance to pick up the best version to give a review here, hope you guys like it.
The lume on dial and bezel pearl is blue. As I mentioned above, there is another factor that makes this replica expensive, it is the movement inside. Yes, the replica is equipped with a real ETA 2836 movement, not an Asian clone one. The following are more details of this replica. Rolex Submariner 116613 Blue Dial Movement: Swiss ETA 2836 Automatic Case: 40mm*13mm, Two Tone, 316L Stainless Steel with 18K Yellow Gold Coating Bezel: Blue Uni-Directional Rotating Bezel, Ceramic Dial: Blue with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands Crystal: Sapphire with Tiny Rolex Crown in Crystal at 6Band: Two Tone Style, 18K Yellow Gold Coating on 316L Stainless Steel Clasp: Deployant Buckle Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Silver Grey Daytona with 4130 Movement Replica Rolex Silver Grey Daytona In the beginning of 2018, AR factory published a few Rolex Daytona replica watches that are not only made of 904L stainless steel, but also equipped with innovative Rolex 4130 automatic movement. These Daytona replicas all have one big disadvantage, that is they are not fully chronograph watch. I have introduced a lot of Daytona watches here before, but they have a full working chronograph function, while this Daytona replica made by AR factory has false subdials at 3:00 and 9:00. However, the chronograph buttons could be pushed, means the central second-chronograph hand will start to work once you press the button at 2:00. One thing we have to admit is this is the Daytona replica that has the closest look to original. If you are in pursuit of perfection in outlook of a replica, this Daytona is your best choice.Replica Rolex Daytona Grey Sometimes you need to sacrifice some functions in order to make other features perfect. Like this replica Daytona, in order to clone a flawless movement that looks 100% the same as genuine 4130, the factory decorates the movement plates and auto rotor perfectly, so it could not be spotted as a fake when somebody in the boutique opened the case back.Replica Rolex Daytona Black Ceramic Bezel The case is 40mm in diameter, it is brushed while the lugs are polished. Black bezel is ceramic made with white tachymeter scales. Silver grey dial has three black subdials at 3, 6 and 9. The small second hand is working smoothly on the subdial at 6 o’clock. Hour markers are filled with white luminous material, so are hands, they will emit strong blue light at night.I love this silver grey Daytona watch, it is highly uniform in color match. For example, black ceramic bezel, black subdials and black rubber band. The silver grey dial also perfectly matches 904L stainless steel case.Replica Rolex Daytona Grey Case Back Watch Specification:Movement: Clone 4130 Automatic, Working Second-Chronograph Hand, Fixed Small Seconds of Subdials at 3 and 9 Case: 40mm*13mm, 904L Stainless Steel, Black Ceramic Bezel Crystal: Sapphire Crystal with Etched Laser Crown Logo at 6 Dial: Silver Grey Bracelet: Black OysterFlex Rubber Band with New Style Flip Lock Clasp Water Resistant: 50m Replica Rolex Day Date 40mm Full Yellow Gold Watch From CR Factory Replica Rolex Day Date Yellow Gold Watch Day Date is a good series of Rolex to show wearer Day and Date at the same time. However, I prefer Datejust more because I do not like the top window displaying week on Day Date watch, but sometimes you have to admit it is important for business men. Today, I am going to introduce a full yellow gold Rolex Day Date replica watch, which is made by CR factory, CR means Chang Rong in Chinese Pin Yin.
Movement: Asia Super Clone 3135 Automatic, 25 Jeweled, 28800BPH, Decorated Movement Plates and Auto Rotor Case: 40mm*13mm, Solid 904L Stainless Steel, 18K Yellow Gold Plated Bezel: Blue Ceramic, Uni-Directional Rotating Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown Logo at 6 o’clock Dial: Blue with Blue Lumed Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Two Tone Style, 904L Stainless Steel, with 18K Yellow Gold Plated Water Resistant: 30m In these days, I was really tired and have not much time to write something new about replica watches, actually at the beginning of 2017, those factories seem not to release striking new models, I guess they are waiting for genuine new watches that will be published in BaselWorld. However, some factories, such as BP, are still bringing new surprise to us, this time, BP factory released a series of vintage Rolex Submariner replicas, this one Comex 1680 is one of them. Actually I remembered such type of vintage Rolex replicas were manufactured by another unknown factory, a factory that made the famous vintage Paul Newman Daytona replica, this time, not only BP made Paul Newman Daytona, it also produced this Comex Submariner. Every one who knows BP must remember their Rolex Submariner replicas have a very close quality to Noob Submariner, so now BP brings these vintage Rolex replicas to a new quality level.
